Take a shower, wash your hair and put your clothes in the wash so the pollen doesn\u2019t linger in your environment.<\/p>\n<p>You could also wear sunglasses and a hat to help keep pollen floaties out of your eyes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newwavefitness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/02-use-otc-allegy-remedies.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9012\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newwavefitness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/02-use-otc-allegy-remedies.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"320\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Use OTC Allergy Remedies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve got over-the-counter (OTC) nasal sprays and antihistamines that are the most popular ways to keep allergy symptoms at bay, and don\u2019t be discouraged if they don\u2019t work right away. Sometimes it takes a few days for them to kick in.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to check with your doctor before starting any type of medication, and read product packages carefully.<\/p>\n<p>Your doctor may also discuss with you allergy shot options if the OTC meds aren\u2019t doing the trick.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a more natural remedy, there are OTC homeopathic options available, and even essential oil blends that you can put into a diffuser.<\/p>\n<p>There are even herbal supplements, like alfalfa, that can help limit allergy symptoms.

Be mindful to change out air filters regularly too, because if they\u2019re dirty, they will keep spreading stuff throughout your living space.<\/p>\n<p>Having air ducts cleaned can also greatly reduce the amount of allergic triggers in your home.<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t discount the value of dusting and vacuuming more often than usual if you suffer from allergies.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that indoor plants could make your allergies kick up too? As sad as it may be, if your houseplants are making you miserable, it may be time to find them a new home.<\/p>\n<p>Even something as simple as changing out your laundry detergent to something that\u2019s fragrance-free might help&#8230;and wash bedding, clothes, curtains and other soft surfaces more frequently.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newwavefitness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/04-tell-your-friends.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9014\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newwavefitness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/04-tell-your-friends.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"320\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell Your Friends<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This may sound ridiculous, but telling your friends and family that you are suffering from allergies will help them to know how they can help.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe your friend likes to have a lot of fresh flowers in the house during the summer, but when you visit, you\u2019re constantly blowing your nose and sneezing. If she knows you\u2019re allergic, hopefully she would be kind enough not to display the flowers while you\u2019re there.<\/p>\n<p>Same with pets, if you have dander allergies\u2014 crating the dog or cat would be nice during your visit to someone\u2019s house.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newwavefitness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/05-ask-your-doctor.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9015\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newwavefitness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/05-ask-your-doctor.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"320\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ask Your Doctor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One more resource is your medical professional.
